I LOL'd at this... They quoted; of all people..

"As David de Rothschild, the 29-year-old ecology campaigner and adventurer, says: “Respect for each other goes hand in hand with respect for the planet we have inherited.” He and his peer group can finally move beyond the Thatcherite admiration for ruthlessness in business and elbows-out upward social mobility."

Wait--you're saying that "chivalry" evolved out of a set of customs developed to cope with the Black Plague? Is that what you meant to imply? It wouldn't be unbelievable, since a lot of customs came about that way or in similar ways, but I've never heard that suggested before...
 
I think all of you are missing the most insane thing out of this article

Yes, yes. It's fkn insane!
 
Chivalry seems anti biblical. Doesn't the bible say women were created for men and not vice versa?


Wasn't the original chivalry a code of how to act in war?

It seems we are talking about courtly love.


www.antimisandry.com has numerous threads explaining this.
 
Today people are more self-absorbed, self-centered and arrogant. They have lost their way--it's a total disregard for humanity as a whole.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with applying this as a good guideline:

How to be a (modern) gentleman
1. Some things don't change: say please and thank you and ask questions about other people rather than talk about yourself.
2. Be punctual. Tardiness does not make you look important, it turns you into an arrogant incompetent who thinks that his time is more important than other people's.
3. The modern gentleman cares about the planet. Be environmentally aware (but not obnoxious about it).
4. Open doors for people and stand up when they enter a room, but do this for men as well as women. The modern gentleman doesn't treat women like porcelain.
5. Be modest. Bragging is distinctly ungentlemanly.
6. Be a good father. Nothing is less charming than a man who leaves childcare to women.
7. Be honest about wherever you have come from in life. Pretension is spineless.
8. Flirt - with everyone. Good flirting is a form of politeness. Pay compliments and put your companion at ease.
9. Do not phone/text/check your BlackBerry incessantly.
10. Dress tidily. Whatever style you are going for, scruffiness just isn't in.

This is not gentlemanly behavior. Most could be applied to women too. This is just civil behavior that every male and female should act.

Btw men can't be fathers because they have to support women. I am sure most men would switch places and trade in their tiring office jobs to spend more time with the kids. It is in a woman's best interest especially when divorce comes to keep him away from the house and working so she can claim the house, the cars, the assets, the accounts, his 401k, custody, alimony, and child support.
 
Most young women do not appreciate gentlemanly behavior; they want thugs.
 
There is probably no need or attraction in being a gentleman.

But yes many women do want thugs.

And these guys are usually treated ridiculously nicely by women. And from what i have heard women treat these guys amazingly too. they are affectionate, loving, want sex, cook, pay for these men, many would give up their lives to save them and risk going to jail for them, let them be unfaithful , pay for them.

Yet nice men never get that treatment. When there is a noise women tell the man to go check on it. yet for these bad boys they do crimes for them.

its ridiculous.

shows you how twisted women's thinking is.


A lot of it is explained here.
